Scott Andrus – Founder, ON3P Skis

Question: Aside from the graphics, what’s the difference between one ski from the next? How do you tell whether a ski is well-built or poorly-built? What sort of things should you be looking for?

We’ve just returned from our review trip to the PNW, and our very first stop in Portland was at the ON3P Skis factory, where we stopped by to talk to ON3P founder, Scott Andrus. Of all the people I know in the ski industry, there is no one I talk to who obsesses more about the minute details of ski building & finishing than Scott. So I talked to Scott about how to tell the difference between a quality build and a crap build, and we go on to talk about a bunch of other stuff, too.

My advice is to listen closely at the start of this one -- you’ll very quickly get the sense that not all skis are created equal, and hopefully, you’ll be able to size up various skis yourself with a more critical eye. And then after about the first 10 minutes, you can relax a bit and listen to us discuss a bunch of other good stuff - including Scott’s future cat farm.

TOPICS:

  • ON3P’s new ski lineup (and Scott’s personal favorite).
  • Why ON3P loves a good bidet. (No joke.)
  • The real and perceived differences between “major" ski companies and smaller “indie” companies.
  • The role of “teams” at ski companies, plus how — and how not — to get sponsored.
  • Why ON3P isn’t in the race to build the lightest skis out there.
  • Questions from Blister readers + Scott's future cat farm
